And otherwise you could have a cool hang out / lounge with nice pa Aramaic windows and everyone could have turns sightseeing.
- hnarn 7y agoThat's not a very good idea. Most people are terrified of glass floors in other scenarios, like balconies for example, especially combined with some altitude. It may be just as safe as "normal" windows but I doubt most people would be comfortable with it. I'm not even sure I would be and I have no more fear of flying than most people. I'm not sure it's suitable for other reasons as well, such as hull integrity (but I'm not an engineer), or actually getting sunlight into the cabin. I'm fairly sure most people want to watch sunsets and sunrises, not clouds or how insanely high up you're sitting.

- hbosch 7y ago> It would be neat to put windows on the floor. You’re most interested in looking down anyway. I don't think so. Looking down isn't what people look out the windows at, it's the horizon. Looking straight down would be generally frightening, sickening, to many people... whereas the horizon is steady and calming. But either way, once you're above the clouds, windows are OK but kinda useless. View doesn't change much up there, or at night!
